Shattered-Lord

Shattered - Lord He woke up in the middle of the night He could hear the echoes of the fight He would always check his scope Before he'd load his magazine He tried to fight the fire in his head And fought to keep the focus sharp instead He never knew he'd ever be A hero at nineteen It's time to go (inside he knows) He's on his own (so all alone) No compromise (none in his eyes) No questions why, never say die On the field of shattered dreams They rise to pull themselves together In this land of liberty They wear their Purple Hearts forever He wet his face to wash the fear away He said a prayer behind the barricade He looked out on the desert As they rolled on down the road There wasn't any warning or retreat When twenty-seven vanished in the heat They never knew that they were going down Not going home No compromise (none in his eyes) No questions why, never say die On the field of shattered dreams They rise to pull themselves together In this land of liberty They wear their Purple Hearts forever No compromise (none in his eyes) No questions why, never say die On the field of shattered dreams They rise to pull themselves together In this land of liberty They wear their Purple Hearts forever On the field of shattered dreams They rise to pull themselves together In this land of liberty They wear their Purple Hearts forever
